From Start to Finish
What is most significant for Lion World Travel is that we own many of the tour and travel companies within Africa, giving us a strong local presence. This provides a distinct advantage in negotiating rates and building a strong and positive relationship with hotels and safari lodges. With our offices in Africa providing 24-hour emergency assistance and having a locally-based team of personnel, Lion World Travel is well positioned to deal with any issues that may arise, thus providing our clients with confidence in their security and safety that is so important in choosing a travel company.
At Lion World Travel, we proudly hire some of the best professionals in the industry, many of them hailing from Africa. Together, they boast a combined total of over 300 years of experience in making travelers’ dreams of an African vacation a reality. With their ongoing training and firsthand knowledge, our specialists can confidently assist you in creating the perfect safari — just your way. We make it a reality by tailoring an itinerary to suit your desires, interests and price range.
We understand that an African adventure is an investment of time, money and especially dreams, and we are committed to offering a unique travel experience with memories that will last a lifetime.
